Dark Matter Mode - really, really easy

[freddyhard]

so far i've played in dark matter mode and i've found it overwhelmingly easy to the point it's not worth playing. i've just completed 'Fight or Flight' and i remember it was more tricky in normal mode. Does anyone think it's a error - or i'm brilliant?

also, the menu only starts with the 3rd mission 'greys' and the first 2 are not visible to play.

The first missions don't appear, because they only exist to teach the player, how to play(At least, it was what I supposed).
And yes, dark matter is fairly easy. Most of my levels were actually solved faster in DM, than in normal.

Either way, the campaign is pretty fast to play, a few cookies and some milk on the table, makes it possible in 3/4 sittings ^^.

And you always have costume levels ;-)

oh... so i'm not brilliant.
although having completed it, the earlier levels will appear easier now regardless of any increase in AI i suppose. the skirmish areas seem fun as well, but i'll look at custom levels later.

I acctually found the DM mode very hard the first time I played it, but thats when the game first came out, I believe I bought it on steam when it was on sale for the first time(preordering?), and after going through the campaign I tried level 3 DM mode, and it was unbeatable

Then I decided to make some maps I could play for fun, kept on for 2 days with that and then went back to WC3 TFT World Editor!

I guess we’ve got to keep in mind that all those levels were written using the “classic” game mode, not the new, faster, more aggressive game mode of v. 2.0.7.

Only play classical ;-). Having an army made of super's, makes the game way too easy.
But from what I've seen there has been some gameplay changes over the patches...Maybe they made it a bit easier...

I can't really comment on this myself as Rudolf is the main arbiter of difficulty here. We could try to make it harder but most people seem convinced that it's harder enough. I've had reports of difficulty spikes and stuff so it'd be interesting to include some actual difficulty levels (easier, and harder).
